Chapter 3 Climb in the Car
588 Words
Reid stood there in silence, looking embarrassed and guilty, his eyes lowered.
Carina, on the other hand, said with an ironic tone, "You said that I'm very warm."
Libby suddenly stepped forward and blocked Carina's sight.
"Carina, it's my fault. It was I who seduced Reid. It was me... I'm a slut. He's a good guy. Don't blame him, OK?"
Carina ignored her and turned to Reid. She said in a plausibly calm way, "They all said that everyone had to pay a price for their youth, and you, are probably the most painful price that I have to pay for my youth. Reid, I should thank you, though. You've taught me that men are not always as reliable as they look.
"I'm sorry, Carina," Reid apologized.
Carina sighed, shaking her hand. She then said, laughing, "Reid, you don't have to apologize. Because of you, I got the job I wanted. We are even now. Now, you don't owe me anything. As for you, Libby, remember, from the moment you jumped onto Reid's bed, we were no longer friends. I'll yield him to you, but I also have a request for you, that is, don't pretend to be close to me anymore, because I won't waste my friendship and goodwill on you. You don't deserve it. I still have a class to give, so I can't stay with you in the rainy romance anymore. Bye."
Then she took a step back, skirting them, and rushed to the side of the road.
She was too perturbed to notice the black Bentley which was about to enter the school.
By the time she reacted, it was already too late. The car struck her.
She stumbled backward and fell to the ground.
"Carina!" Reid exclaimed from behind her.
He was about to run over when he saw Carina propping herself up.
In a hurry, she limped to the car, opened the door, and climbed in.
There were people in the car, yet she did not notice.
She saw Reid approaching the car, so she shouted to the driver.
"Take me to Aelvale Road, or else I will charge you with an intentional injury."
The driver looked back at the man in the back seat with concern.
"Do as this lady says," said the man.
The driver then reversed the car and left the school.
As they drove far away from the school, Carina looked out of the window, lost in thought.
Her mind wandered back to Reid. Her heart ached.
Reid would never know what kind of stupid thing she had done last night because of him.
She regretted her impulsive actions.
Now she lost Reid, lost a friend, and her virginity as well.
After considering it, she decided to define yesterday as... the worst anniversary of her life.
The man who was seated near her handed over a white towel.
"You are all wet. Wipe yourself off."
She took the towel and mumbled, "I'm sorry, I made your car dirty. Wait... Mr. Mendez?"
She was in shock. The man who sat next to her turned out to be Rolando, whom she had claimed that she would never see again this morning.
Carina was too surprised to speak.
"What? Surprised?"
"This ..." After pausing for a moment, she finally asked, "Why are you here?"
"Ms. Osborn, should I remind you that this is my car?"
That's right, she was the one who "robbed" his car.
"Oh, sorry, I've fouled up your car. I'll wash it for you when the rain stops."
